Mike Ogletree (aka The Blaxcotsman ) was born and grew up in Scotland, his mother was a Scottish woman and his father, an African/American, was from Birmingham, Alabama. His rather quirky origins give life to music with a difference, a sound that is at once familiar yet different and new at the same time, something that can’t be defined without first giving it a few listens.

Having spent most of his time fantasizing about, or being, a musician Mike has acquired skills and experience as a drummer, percussionist, singer/songwriter, guitarist, sound engineer, and music producer. Throughout his career, he has toured and recorded with some of the top performers in their fields culminating in his debut as a solo artist – The Blaxcotsman.

Join Mike and his friends on Saturday, July 15 at 7 pm in the intimate and friendly atmosphere of the basement Speakeasy in the Meadowlark Motel.
